Chapter 5 - Practice of Telemedicine
Rule 30-2635-5.7 - Consultative Physician Limited

A duly licensed physician may remotely consult with a duly licensed and qualified Advanced Practice Registered Nurse ("APRN") or Physician's Assistant ("PA"), who is in a hospital setting, using telemedicine. The physician providing Emergency Telemedicine must be either board certified or board eligible in emergency medicine. The Board may waive this requirement under extra ordinary circumstances.

For the purposes of Emergency Telemedicine services, licensees will only be authorized to provide the aforementioned services to those emergency departments of licensed hospitals who have an average daily census of fifty (50) or fewer acute care/medical surgical occupied beds as defined by their Medicare Cost Report. Exceptions may be considered by the Board for physicians affiliated with facilities maintaining greater than fifty (50) beds, but not more than one hundred (100) beds.

Satellite Centers who receive telemedicine services/assistance from a Primary Center must have a transfer agreement with a facility that offers a higher level of care, in order to send any patients who require transfer for a higher level of care.
